Tennessee cancels scrimmage due to COVID-19

Tenneesee has cancelled its scrimmage at Neyland Stadium today because of COVID-19 measures that made 44 players unavailable.

Although there were only ‘seven or eight’ players who actually had COVID-19, a large number of other players were sidelined due to quaratine measures – meaning that only 30 offensive players were available.

NCAA guidelines dictate COVID-19hat players tessting positive must sit for 10 days and have three days without symptoms before coming back to play. Players who have been determined to have “high-risk” contact with players who test positive are required to sit for 14 days (which would be in players’ position groups or a player who is within 6ft of someone who tests positive for over 15 minutes without a face covering.

This would be a reason also why Auburn is having so many problems on the offensive line as well with COVID-19, which has debilitated its line for practices.

All this has made me wonder: How many other SEC schools are having this problem but not telling us truth? I’m sorry, but I can’t believe that only 10 out of the 12 SEC schools have reported problems.

Or they just aren’t telling us.
